HONG KONG TO NEW COUSINS

I went to New York to pick up the grandkids
who are here from Hong Kong. Here are Aaron,
Hannah, and Timothy chillin' at the airport.















Aaron is happy with the cars from grandma.















Celeste and Vanessa 'out to lunch' at the Chicago airport.















Timothy and Celeste on the 4th of July.
Jacob and Timothy are seven years apart.


We finally arrived in Phoenix.

Meeting their new cousins (Jennifer's daughters)

and swimming in grandma's pool was top priority

upon arrival.

Next came the fireworks-- for those who could

stay awake.

Jacob gets into the swing.

Aaron likes the Play-doh.

Timothy's curls.

Lilly is 7.

Jacob plays ball with the dogs.

Jennifer makes pizza.

Yo, Celeste!

Hannah helps with the pizza.

Aaron and Nezy about the same size,

but are separated by three years!

Timothy and mommy. Is he really

the last one? We'll see. . . . .

Timothy truly is a beautiful baby.

Carl/Megan and Aidan visit from Las Vegas.

Great grandpa Eyring loves his family-- especially

the little ones.

Aidan loved his first pool experience.

We took the opportunity to go shooting despite

the shortage of ammunition.

Carl needed a little instruction first-- hee! hee!

Aidan is 10 months old.
